I always make it a policy to blame Canada, JMD. I mean seriously, where were the Mounties when that poor kid nearly fell to his death at Niagra Falls in SUPERMAN II? It was a flying farmboy from the American heartland that saved him! :)

In all seriousness, it sounds like it'll be a great event, and I've got nothing but love for the country that gave us Shatner. I've got a brother in law who lives pretty close to the Canadian border, and I might just get the opportunity to see New York, New York, NY, and Canada next year. (That's admittedly a confusing sentence structure, but I've always thought of New York, New York as a different world from the rest of the state.)

Hope so. I've always been fascinated by how New York is virtually its own character in every film, book, or song where it's the setting. So I've always come at NY through fiction, but there's clearly something wondrous about it that permeates everything it touches. If I do visit, it will be like part of a story 33 years in the making.

Good to hear you're coming to Canada, my friend. Haven't been to Ottawa for many years myself. Funny (to me) how you say you've been to Toronto (city), Ottawa (city), and Quebec (province), rather than saying exactly where in Quebec. Was it like Vegas--what happens in 'Quebec' stays in 'Quebec'? : ) Ha! Would love to see you make an appearance at FanExpo this year. My sis and I will be there with a table in Artist Alley representing our inde. comic book company SillWill Press with some new books! Including the final (and long awaited) volume to "The Sorcerer's Children" trilogy. Should be cool. And I may just have a new book out too--story and art by me--if all goes well. So far I'm happy with how it's coming along. We also recently were a part of "Comic Book Literacy Day" that was in conjunction with the city library here in London, Ontario. Went great, too. All the best with your trip and festival in Ottawa, J.M!

Thanks, J.M. Will let you know when the books are ready and coming out. In the meantime, if you're curious or interested in another book we put together with the editorial help of our older sister, Francie, you can check out www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/783293. It's a hardcover art book. And no worries about Quebec, I've never even made it there myself! Talk soon.
